Fely Campo. Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid. Fall/Winter 2025/2026 Collection

At Gratacós, we closely follow the main Spanish fashion catwalks, always looking to discover how our fabrics become unique pieces full of creativity. We are fascinated to see the transformation of our fabrics in the hands of designers, who manage to give life to collections full of personality and their own style. This connection between raw material and inspiration is, without a doubt, what motivates us the most to continue betting on innovation and quality.

During the recent edition of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, held in February 2025, we had the opportunity to once again see the trust that many designers place in our fabrics for their designs. Female empowerment, sustainability, experimentation with textures and the commitment to materials that combine tradition and technology have been some of the key themes of this season, where each garment not only stands out for its aesthetics, but also for the story behind it.

Below, we present a selection of the most outstanding shows of the Fall- Winter 2025/2026 season, where our fabrics have been the protagonists. It is a privilege to see how each designer explores new forms of expression and plays with textures to propose trends that inspire.

Fely Campo. Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid. Fall/Winter 2025/2026 Collection

Fely Campo

Fely Campo has presented SELF><WORLD , a collection that invites us to reflect on the relationship between our identity and our environment. What do we project to the world? How is our inner self translated into the image we show? With these questions as a starting point, the designer from Salamanca proposes luxury ready-to-wear where personal essence and external expression merge into the same language.

The autumn-winter 2025/26 collection stands out for its balance between structure and fluidity, playing with materials that evoke emotions and awaken the senses. Tweed, with its enveloping texture, brings warmth and recalls tradition, while velvet is presented as a tribute to sensorial richness, combined with sequins and embroidery that suggest restrained shine and sophistication. Silk, light and ethereal, slides between the pieces, providing movement and softness, in contrast with heavier fabrics such as wool, creating a visual dialogue between the robust and the delicate.

The colour palette breaks free from conventions, breaking the traditional boundaries of colour. Deep tones intertwine with bright flashes, reflecting the multiple facets of the ” self ” and the diversity of emotional states. The versatility of the garments allows each woman to express herself in her own way, with designs intended for everyday use that do not renounce elegance or timelessness.

True to its commitment to sustainability, Fely Campo is committed to pieces that transcend the ephemeral. Each design is conceived to last, resisting the urgency of the new and embracing the beauty that endures over time. The refined and comfortable silhouettes enhance the female figure without imposing themselves, leaving room for the personality of the wearer to be the true protagonist. SELF><WORLD is an invitation to recognize and show oneself as one is, with garments that accompany, envelop and reflect the authenticity of each woman. Because, as the designer herself says, “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.”

Johanna Calderon

Johanna Calderón chose the emblematic Four Seasons in Madrid to celebrate a fashion show that represents a hymn to body diversity. Each design by the Madrid native with an Andalusian heart is a declaration of self-love, an exaltation of feminine strength and sensuality. Sequins, rhinestones and transparencies took over the catwalk, drawing silhouettes that embrace the body with strategic cuts that enhance the figure without losing elegance. Her collection immerses itself in a festive universe where each garment celebrates self-affirmation. Subtle transparencies coexist with meticulous embroidery and fabrics that shine with their own light, conceived for women who want to feel powerful and radiant. More than fashion, it is a hymn to security and empowerment, with pieces that invite you to dress with confidence and freedom.

To bring this proposal to life, Calderón collaborated with Miah Management , the first Spanish agency dedicated entirely to curvy models. “I was not able to find such a diverse cast of models in any other agency,” explains the designer, a staunch defender of the real representation of women. Diversity was thus one of the central themes of the show, with sizes ranging from 38 to 56, vindicating beauty in all its forms. In short, Johanna Calderón transforms the act of dressing into an experience full of meaning, where sensuality and diversity intertwine to pay tribute to the modern woman: strong, confident and in control of her own story.

Malne. Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid. Fall/Winter 2025/2026 Collection

Malne

In “Bohemian Future” Malne has celebrated romantic glamour and the bohemian essence under a futuristic gaze. The firm, founded in 2016 by Paloma Álvarez and Juanjo Mánez, once again opts for slow fashion and artisanal production from its atelier in Madrid, reaffirming its commitment to sustainability and the creation of timeless pieces. With a narrative that fuses the boho chic aesthetic of the 70s with an urban and contemporary approach, the collection dresses a woman who plays with fashion without losing sight of environmental responsibility.

The key garments explore the duality between delicacy and structure: impeccably cut tweed layers are combined with fluid tunics and vaporous blouses that glide over the catwalk. The chiffon dresses, voluptuous and light, are dyed in intense colours such as emerald green, ruby ​​red and classic black, the firm’s fetish tone. Jackets, another of Malne’s distinctive features, are presented in a fitted version, enhancing the feminine silhouette with a sophisticated and urban touch.

As for the materials, the collection for next winter is based on noble fabrics such as tweed, silk chiffon, cashmere, gazar and micropaillettes, which provide texture and subtle shine to the compositions. Each piece is designed to transmit strength and personality, reflecting the DNA of the firm and its focus on fashion as a form of artistic expression. “This collection speaks of a woman of the future, conscious and free, who does not give up luxury or the beauty of what is well done,” comment Álvarez and Mánez.

With this proposal, Malne not only reinterprets bohemian luxe, but reaffirms its place in the Spanish fashion scene as a benchmark for contemporary haute couture, where craftsmanship, sustainability and exclusivity go hand in hand to create unique and timeless garments.

Mans. Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid. Fall/Winter 2025/2026 Collection

Mans

The Mans  collection, winner of the L’Oréal award for the best collection at the 81st edition of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, delves into the reinterpretation of the feminine suit with impeccable tailoring that balances tradition and innovation. Led by Seville designer Javier Álvarez, the proposal stands out for its careful construction and attention to detail, exploring structured silhouettes with straight lines and fluid volumes that adapt to the female figure, responding to the demands of comfort and contemporary elegance.

Key pieces include British-style suits with double-breasted jackets and large lapels, combined with high-waisted, wide-leg trousers, fitted with cummerbunds and bows that add a playful touch to the ensemble. The coats, in different versions, down to the feet with rounded lapels and enveloping textures, while the shirts, both in their feminine and masculine versions, surprise with horizontal pleats and ruffle details that add a romantic air. This gender duality is also reflected in the sheer blouses and mini and midi skirts, which add versatility to the collection.

The colour palette, dominated by neutral tones, is enlivened by vibrant accents such as red, purple, yellow and orange, evoking a cosmopolitan and bold spirit. Velvet, the textile protagonist of the proposal, pays homage to the aesthetics of the 90s with Tom Ford as a reference, while Scabal wools – iconic fabrics that have dressed characters such as James Bond or Vito Corleone – provide an extra touch of sophistication and sartorial heritage.

The recognition of this collection not only celebrates the excellence of the design, but also the evolution of Mans towards a fashion that embraces diversity, functionality and contemporary luxury, always maintaining the essence of tailoring that defines its DNA. For Javier Álvarez, this award is a reward for a collection that is “difficult to build” and reflects the firm’s connection with the needs of a public that seeks special and timeless pieces.

Menchen Tomas. Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid. Fall/Winter 2025/2026 Collection

Menchen Tomas

BLITZ by Menchén Tomás is a collection that travels to the heart of 1980s London to revive the creative and rebellious spirit of the legendary Blitz Club. Epicenter of the underground scene and cradle of the aesthetic and musical avant-garde of the time, this legendary club inspired a proposal that celebrates freedom of expression and stylistic audacity, reinterpreted from a contemporary perspective.

For autumn-winter 2025/26, the firm led by Olga Menchén proposes pieces that invite us to play with fashion as a creative and personal act. Delicate silks, structured crepe, triacetate and chantilly make up a selection of fabrics that offer movement, texture and a feeling of tactile luxury. The colour palette evolves from the sobriety of black and white to metallic shades, eucalyptus green, porcelain blue and pale pink, evoking emotions that complement the dynamism of the garments. The silhouettes explore volumes and structures that dialogue with the aesthetic experimentation of the Blitz Club. The designs dare to decontextualise traditional garments and materials, proposing tunics, oversized blouses, straight-cut trousers and dresses that play with layers and transparencies. Each look is an invitation to break free from established norms and embrace fashion as a form of self-expression.

Beyond aesthetics, BLITZ raises a reflection on sustainability and the importance of giving materials a second life. The firm champions local craftsmanship and the value of work done in Spain, guaranteeing meticulous control of each phase of production and reaffirming its commitment to quality and environmental responsibility.

This collection, presented on the catwalk at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, is an ode to creative daring and free identity, where each garment seeks to inspire and empower those who wear it. For Menchén Tomás, dressing is much more than covering up: it is daring to imagine and express who we are.

Yolancris. Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid. Fall/Winter 2025/2026 Collection

Yolancris

YOLANCRIS, the Barcelona-based label founded by sisters Yolanda and Cristina Pérez, has presented its autumn-winter 2025/26 collection under the YC ready-to-wear line: a contemporary reinterpretation of the extravagance and art de vivre of the Marchioness Luisa Casati. Inspired by this iconic figure of the 20th century, the proposal pays homage to the empowered woman who turned her life into a work of art, challenging the established norms of her time.

The collection is based on three creative pillars: Catalan Modernism, the irreverent freedom of the 1970s and the artistic heritage of Mariano Fortuny. The result is a series of pieces that explore the duality between opulence and functionality, maintaining the artisanal essence that has defined the house since 2005. Wrap-around tunics and coats are combined with 70s-style trousers and maxi blouses, while straight dresses incorporate art deco details that provide sophistication without excess.

In terms of materials, Yolancris deploys a textile universe that emphasizes quality and texture. Leather and lace — the latter worked using the soleil pleating technique — coexist with rich velvets and silk gauzes that provide lightness and movement. Artisanal embroidery and hand-made ornamental details underline the firm’s commitment to excellence in tailoring and local savoir-faire. This combination of heavy and ethereal fabrics creates a visual contrast that, at the same time, reinforces the collection’s versatility.

The colour palette ranges from dark, neutral tones—such as intense blacks and deep grays—to more vibrant accents that evoke the free spirit of the 1970s. Yolancris ‘ proposal not only seeks to dress, but also to empower: each garment is a declaration of freedom, designed for the contemporary woman who values comfort without giving up elegance.

This first foray of the YC ready-to-wear line into Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid represents an important step for the brand, reaffirming its commitment to local production and sustainability. Yolancris demonstrates that everyday fashion can be a vehicle for self-expression and authenticity, fusing tradition and modernity with a sophisticated and contemporary approach.

At Gratacós, we are always keeping an eye on the most important catwalk shows in Spanish fashion, looking for those surprising looks that are created with our fabrics. We love to see how each designer adds their personal touch and transforms our fabrics into authentic works of art in motion. This constant search for creativity and innovation inspires us deeply.

At the latest edition of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, held in September 2024, we confirmed once again that many designers trust in the quality and versatility of our fabrics to bring their collections to life. This year, artisanal and sustainable fabrics have taken centre stage, highlighting a clear focus on recycled, natural and technological materials. Not only do they make garments look amazing, but they also tell stories full of purpose.

Here are some of the most outstanding looks from the Spring -Summer 2025 collections, where our fabrics have been an essential part. It is fascinating to see how each designer contributes their unique vision and plays with textures to set trends that do not go unnoticed.

Alvaro Calafat

In his new collection ODDITIES ODYSSEY, Álvaro Calafat takes us on a journey into the past, evoking the old cupboards of curiosities where the strange and the fascinating coexist. Inspired by collectible objects and mysterious images, the designer from Malaga has created a proposal that mixes the classic with the innovative, breaking down the barriers between fashion and art.

The standout pieces include impressive volumes and constructions using 3D printing, one of the brand’s hallmarks. Hand-made textures and techniques such as cyanotype add a handcrafted touch that reinforces the collection’s unique aesthetic. Each garment becomes a canvas for experimentation, where the surreal comes to life through appliqués and embroidery.

The firm maintains its commitment to sustainability, emphasizing natural and high-quality fabrics such as silk, cotton, leather and tencel. The brand’s classic bomber jackets are reinterpreted with surreal details, elevating their design to another level. This collection reflects Álvaro Calafat’s commitment to innovation and respect for the environment, always with that air of mystery and sophistication that characterizes the firm.

Fely Campo

With “ Lei Zu”, Fely Campo invites us on an aesthetic journey along the mythical Silk Route, fusing history, legend and fashion. This luxury ready-to-wear collection features 29 sophisticated looks, starting with the masterful use of tweed and intertwining with artisanal silks brought from Guangzhou. Each garment celebrates textile richness, where opulence and subtlety meet.

The volumes of taffeta, the lightness of organza and printed brocades combine to create pieces that stand out for their precision in cuts and careful silhouettes. The collection begins with more structured shapes and tailored suits, evolving towards a more fluid aesthetic with shirt dresses and maxi lace kaftans that mesmerize with their movement.

The colour palette of “ Lei Zu” is a visual poem: crystal blues, pearly whites and soft lilacs mingle with acidic limes and radiant pistachios. With golden brushstrokes on Chinese silks, light plays a fundamental role in this proposal, which goes beyond being just a collection; it is a tribute to the essence of fashion and the magic of the Silk Road.

JCPajares

JCPAJARES surprises us with “ANNUAL 25,” its fifth annual collection, where the essence of summer and winter intertwine in designs that celebrate craftsmanship and innovation, all with a strong environmental commitment. This proposal highlights the new artisan luxury, the result of a collaboration with master craftsmen from Castilla-La Mancha, which revives centuries-old techniques in danger of extinction, giving them a contemporary feel.

The collection is a true feast for the senses, with materials including ceramics, blown glass, hand embroidery, crochet and painted prints, all crafted on historic looms. Spanish wool, often considered waste, is brought back to life, while leather and wicker accessories add a unique touch to each look.

“ANNUAL 25” is an ode to sustainability, where social responsibility and animal welfare are fundamental pillars. Oversized silhouettes and innovative patterns combine with prints evoking sunsets, creating pieces perfect for both day and night. The collection includes feathers, ruffles, cut-outs and goth details, made of wool cloths, silk crepes, taffetas and faded denims, along with tulles and fabrics adorned with rhinestones and sequins with floral motifs.

In each garment of “ANNUAL 25,” craftsmanship and modern aesthetics merge, offering a visual and sensorial experience that highlights the quality of the materials and real traceability, ideal for those looking for unique pieces with history.

Lola Casademunt by Maite

LOLA CASADEMUNT BY MAITE ‘s new collection is inspired by the rich Japanese culture, with geishas as muses. This proposal captures the femininity and delicacy that characterize these emblematic figures, bringing them to life through garments adorned with floral details and glitter, in a vibrant palette that evokes the iconic kimonos.

Fluid and delicate fabrics are combined with more structured and casual materials, creating a dialogue between tradition and modernity. Stitched collars, embroidery and bows intertwine classic elements of geisha costumes with a contemporary style, while wide volumes on skirts and trousers and flowing sleeves add movement and elegance to each look.

Fitted dresses and geometric patterns enhance the silhouette, adding a touch of sophistication. Accessories are essential in this proposal, including okobo, traditional sandals, and sashes that imitate the obis of kimonos, all designed with the colors and prints characteristic of the collection.

“Spring/Summer 2025” by Lola Casademunt by Maite offers a contemporary take on Japanese aesthetics, fusing the traditional with the modern in a fresh and sophisticated proposal. Each piece not only celebrates cultural heritage, but also adapts to the modern lifestyle, making this collection an ideal choice for those seeking elegance and distinction in their outfits.

Malne

Malne, the luxury label created by renowned designers Paloma Álvarez and Juanjo Mánez, has presented “De Rerum Natura.” Inspired by the poem by Roman poet Titus Lucretius, this collection for the upcoming summer season celebrates nature and is a journey toward happiness and environmental awareness.

The proposal focuses on epicurean fashion, using natural fabrics such as linen, raffia and silk, as well as animal and floral prints that evoke the essence of spring. Each garment reflects freedom and connection with the outdoors, ideal at this time of year when it invites you to enjoy leisure time away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The silhouettes are soft and fluid, combining haute couture elements with a feminine approach. Malne pays homage to classic corsetry, using lace and corsets that wrap the body with elegance. The firm remains faithful to its principles of creating unique fashion with an authorial message, highlighting its commitment to craftsmanship and slow fashion, becoming one of the pioneering brands of the movement in Spain.

“De Rerum Natura” is not just a collection, but an invitation to reconnect with nature and enjoy life to the fullest. Each piece in this limited edition collection is designed for clients seeking luxury and exclusivity, reaffirming Malne ‘s position in the world of high-end ready -to- wear.
